In 2003, Ellen Changed her life
By implementing simple – yet long lasting – habit changes, Ellen lost
20 kilos, fully embraced the vibrant Swiss lifestyle, and embarked on the next chapter as her most authentic self and has spent the last 20+ years helping clients and corporations worldwide do the same.
In 2019, Dominique changed her life.
After 30 years in the C-Suite leading Human Resources globally, Dominique realized that her career was no longer driving her, but
draining her. At 53, she embarked on her entrepreneurship journey. Today, she supports professionals to reinvent their careers to be in alignment with their values and purpose – like herself.
A Professional lunch meeting defined their futures.
Little did Ellen & Dominique know that over food and wine, their shared passions would become obvious — the love for their country, people, food and life. That day, they realized that, by combining their 30 years each of experience and expertise, they could provide the holistic, comprehensive, approach to wellbeing that the world needs today.
